The March for No God (The New Atheist)
“God is Dead” The clarion call for the Secular Humanist. No need to believe in a God, we have evolution. All religion has done is kill people.
The new atheist pushes these thoughts and revise history to fit their narrative. Hitler was a Christian and killed Jews because of his Catholic beliefs, they say. Slavery was a Christian institution, so they say. The Bible promotes rape, murder, filicide, incest, and many other detestable practices. Or so they say.
The new atheist is adamant about the evils of religion and sees all religion as the same. Jesus? Why not believe in Santa Claus, the tooth fairy, or leprechauns? Why not throw in mythology of the Greeks, Romans, or Nords while we’re at it? Suicide bombers of the Islamic religion, Christianitie’s just in as much fault as they are. They’re both religions after all.
The new atheist movement has been championed by high profile atheists such as Richard Dawkins, Sam Harris, Victor Stenger, Christopher Hitchens, E. O. Wilson, Carl Sagan, Daniel Dennett, and Steven Pinker. And they don’t like the term atheist. They like to call themselves ‘brights.’
They believe religion is stupid and that science is the only answer we need. Indeed, they believe that all should believe as they should.
Richard Rorty once said of higher education that they should “arrange things so that students who enter as bigoted, homophobic, religious fundamentalists will leave college with views more like our own.” Well, at least we know what they think of religious folk. Rorty even says of himself that students should be grateful to find themselves “under the benevolent Herrschaft of people like me, and to have escaped the grip of their frightening, vicious, dangerous parents.”
But their hatred of Christianity and religion in general is Not based upon science. But don’t take my word for it.
Douglas Erwin - “One of the rules of science is, no miracles allowed.”
Barry Palevitz - “The supernatural is automatically off-limits as an explanation of the natural world.”
Franklin Harold - “Life arose here on earth from inanimate matter, by some kind of evolutionary process. This is not a statement of demonstrable fact, but an assumption.”
Nicholas Humphrey - “Our starting assumption as scientists ought to be that on some level consciousness has to be an illusion.”
Richard Dawkins - “The theory of evolution by cumulative natural selection is the only theory we know of that is in principle capable of explaining the existence of organized complexity. Even if the evidence did not favor it, it would still be the best theory available.”
Steven Pinker - “Because there are no alternatives, we would almost have to accept natural selection as the explanation for life on this planet, even if there were no evidence for it.”
Richard Lewontin - “We take the side of science in spite of the patent absurdity of some of its constructs, in spite of its failure to fulfill many of its extravagant promises of health and life, in spite of the tolerance of the scientific community for unsubstantiated just-so stories, because we have a prior commitment - a commitment to materialism. It is not that the methods and institutions of science somehow compel us to accept a material explanation of the phenomenal world, but, on the contrary, that we are forced by our a priori commitment to material causes to create an apparatus of investigation and a set of concepts that produce material explanations, no matter how counter-intuitive, no matter how mystifying to the uninitiated. Moreover, that materialism is absolute, for we cannot allow a Divine foot in the door.”
Francis Crick - “I went into science because of these religious reasons, there’s no doubt about that. I asked myself what were the things that appear inexplicable and are used to support religious beliefs.” (Then Crick sought to show that those things have a purely material foundation)
Richard Dawkins - “As scientific laws cannot be violated, miracles cannot occur. Reasonable people therefore have to renounce miracles.”
Richard Dawkins - “Faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.”
Richard Dawkins - “We don’t need evidence. We know it to be true.” (speaking of evolution)
Richard Dawkins is also alleged to have said that ‘anyone who doesn’t accept evolution is either ignorant, stupid… or wicked, but I’d rather not consider that.’
Scott Todd - “Even if all the data point to an intelligent designer, such an hypothesis is excluded from science because it is not naturalistic.
George Wald - “There are only two possible explanations as to how life arose: spontaneous generation arising to evolution or a supernatural creative act of God… there is no other possibility. Spontaneous generation was scientifically disproved 120 years ago by Louis Pasteur and others, but that leaves us with only one other possibility… that life came as a supernatural act of creation of God, but I can’t accept that philosophy because I do not want to believe in God. Therefore, I choose to believe in that which is scientifically impossible, spontaneous generation leading to evolution.”
Don’t be fooled folks. Atheism based upon evolution is just as much a faith as Christianity. They believe in evolution not purely on facts, but because they don’t want to believe the alternative.
